Intro: It's been a while since the last time I've seen models posing with cigarettes for photo shoots in fashion magazines. During the early 90's, I often questioned myself why it seemed very "in" to smoke and then capture it as images for fashion spreads? Slowly those burn-y and smoky butts which normally act as must-have accessories are fading away from the fashion fierce frame these days.
Is it not "vogue" anymore to smoke?
Apparently it's not just happening in magazines, but obviously also in many public places which normally were hazy from burn-y cigarettes. Now it is banned to light the little poor sticks, leaving the smokers feeling alienated by only allowing them to take their puffs in a special incubator-like room.
Smoker and non-smoker are the new categories . . .
Let's not continue blabbering on about the scary details of smoking's bad effects, we all know that already. Let's instead share a few quick tips for those who are still struggling to quit:
-- At the beginning of your "suffering" consume a lot of water or juice, it helps to replace your craving and wash away the piled up toxin in your body. . . .
Good luck to all quitters. The first week ain't easy. I won't sugar-coat the situation, it's hell! I still need some luck as well while "adjusting" to my weight gain after replacing my nicotine addiction to food consumption and exercise.
Yes I've developed six fabulous and firm kilos these past two months, and never felt better! I feel more like a stud now than the skinny twink I used to be. And yes I feel one level more confident to kiss someone now, too!
